Comments:

Got caught up in traffic the first 1/2 mile or so. I was seeded correctly, but many others weren't. I have come to expect this. First mile was a little slow due to this, but maybe it helps me, I don't know. After that, I fell into a pretty nice rhythm and really stayed within myself.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, this was a low priority race for fun.
